Is this still up FS, or did it find a new home?
Thnx

No, the bike did not sell.

A couple of lookers - one was scared off by the lack of ABS brakes.  The other was in his 70’s, looking to get back into riding and could barely get the bike up off the side stand.  I talked him out of it and suggested he look for a lighter bike.

So I installed a BMW heated grip kit and rode it until it got too cold to ride.  First bike I’ve ever had with heated grips and it made a huge difference.

It’s still for sale and can be looked at anytime.

Oh great, at least for me.... :) 

So which model is it/was it originally, the C or RT?   I'm out in Jaffrey NH so only an hour and a half away.

A Brick can be modified a lot on the way to market. This one has a BMW oem wind screen, an RT handlebar, and Gen 3 cases that have more convenient latches and an increased capacity compared with earlier models. The low seat is relatively rare. It has a simplified front brake hose assembly that uses only one hose and a bridge pipe connection between the two front calipers. The heated handlebars can be a plus. Put the last seven digits of the moto's identification number into this VIN decoder to get a better idea of which model it is. A C model would have a drum brake on the rear wheel and would have been manufactured between 07/85 and 03/90 according to Max BMW's parts fiche.

I'm going to guess that it's a C model that had RT bars added so that together with the low seat someone could do the Hardley Dangerous "Ape Hanger" thing.  All that's missing is the highway pegs so you could get into the "gyno stirrups" leg position.

Because converting an RT to a C would require a different tank, radiator trim, turn signals, headlight, windscreen, and mirrors, the expense would be crazy.  It makes more sense to just buy a C.

[keiththor]

Neither.

In 1992 BMW made a low seat bare-bones K75.  That’s what this one is.  See the description here - http://www.mbike.com/bmw/k75/1992.

I looked the VIN up at the BMW site to get the date of manufacture.  The bike is identified as a K75 with a production date of 12/91.

Hey Keiththor,  Sorry for the gap in communication, but I'm out of the running now. I found an S FS, fell in love with it and handed over my money.  GLWS!

[keiththor]

No worries, DrBombay.  Enjoy your new ride!
